Is that any different than when you have two people of the same gender and suddenly can't use plain old gendered pronouns to unambiguously refer to the two people?

Eg, if Susan took Anna's apple, it'd be confusing to say "she took her apple".

Yeah pronouns can get really messy. I try to avoid them as much as I can in technical writing so I can follow my own sentences lol.
